The figures show the benefits of GE‘s nano-coatings in delaying ice formation when compared with existing surfaces. Scientists at GE Global Research measured the onset of icing by monitoring the tem- perature of a supercooled drop of water on the sur- face, using an infrared camera. The spike in the drop temperature indicates the start of icing. © GE

raphene Laboratories Inc. presented their new expanded product line at the American

Physical Society March Meeting in Boston, USA. Gra- phene Laboratories has significantly expanded their product line since their last appearance at a 2011 APS Meeting. The latest products include: CVD Gra- phene Coatings on various dielectric substrates, Graphene Paper, Reduced Graphene Oxide, Ultra- fine High Surface Area Graphene Nanoplatelets, and Continuous Graphene on Foil, and 3D Gra- phene Foam. The 3D graphene is grown on nickel or copper foam, and the metal may then be etched away leaving a free-standing, porous graphene struc- ture. The graphene foams have been found to be valuable for chemical sensing and energy storage. http://www.graphene-supermarket.com http://www.graphenelab.com/
